Prosecutors have filed child sexual abuse charges against a Springfield man — but they aren't sure if they have the right name.
Court documents say two boys reported they were given drugs and abused last month by a man named "Frank" who was paying them to do odd jobs.
Police say they have contacted the suspect — who identified himself as 48-year-old Frank Schultz — but they now believe that was possibly an alias, and the man might be on the run.
Frank Schultz has been charged with attempted statutory sodomy, child molestation and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child. An arrest warrant has been issued for that name.
According to a probable cause statement, a boy told authorities on June 25 that Schultz had given him marijuana and then molested him while he was staying the night at Schultz's residence at 1121 W. State St.
A few days earlier, another boy had allegedly reported that Schultz had given him marijuana that was possibly laced with another drug and then sexually assaulted him in the middle of the night.
Court documents say the boys reported that the windows in the State Street home were covered with sheets and Schultz had a box with hundreds of DVDs with words like "little boy porn," "gay porn" and "lesbian porn."
On Tuesday, police executed a search warrant at the State Street home and found a plastic bag with a white powdery substance and a camera with photos of juvenile boys on it, according to the statement.
A bond recommendation document says Schultz has access to numerous other children.
On Friday, police released a photo of the suspect. They are asking anyone with information to call the Springfield Police Department at 417-864-1810 or make an anonymous call to Crime Stoppers at 417-869-TIPS.

Thoughts? What makes this an even scarier situation is this isn't a case where the young child doesn't know this is not ok, but that according to other reports the boys did in fact try to fight back: www.ky3.com/content/news/frank-schultz-child-molestation-charges-385109941.html
